Just to be sure, that IS a blood ring, and the chick is dead, correct?

I didn't want to say it, but I think it is. It usually dips a little lower, but I don't see veins coming off of it, so it looks like blood pooling. Sorry, MC...

Yes and yes.

I am planning to attempt my second hatch ever in March in a round metal bator, similar to the Brower model. This is a still-air model and for my first hatch I manually turned the eggs. I'd love to be able to further stabilize the temps by using an auto egg-turner in it. Has anyone every tried using one, like this, in a round Brower-style incubator? I still need to measure to be sure it would fit, but it's 15" by 15" so I think it would. Are there some reasons why this would be a bad idea?

I'm eager to hear responses to this.

won't fit without making it fit I have one and tried but the LG brand is to big and didn't want to cut on the turner some where I have pictures of that thing .

They will only hatch if you leave them alone.

It really is just the way it goes. A complete loss of all eggs would be devastating this time around. I don't see it happening though. I just succeeded in getting a video of a wiggler. Not great, so I am not putting it on Yout ube (I have gotten into you tube the last few days). I did candle another egg though. According to the thermometers, the temps in that incubator are more varied than usual. I saw moving in one that is supposedly in a cold pocket.
@Sally Sunshine Do you want pictures of the dead one? What about the porous one?

I AM.LEAVING THEM ALONE.I am only opening the lid barely barely barely every other day to add water.

. Sunshine on you today and bring a few smiles?

After viewing Sally's mic stand candler and seeing the proper way to candle, we rigged up a flashlight to a music stand. This is a 320 lumen light with the lens removed so it makes a good seal.




This one looks very clear, but there is a dark speck moving where the arrow is. This one we left in the incubator.

I ended up taking out 3 eggs that were clear - one easter egger and 2 BCM. I suppose there could have been life in the BCMs I removed, but they were very suspect and the bator was a little over crowded.

The air cells have not changed much, and I started with very fresh eggs so the air cells are small. I did not weigh eggs before starting (oops) - but at least I marked an air cell. I took the plug out so I wouldn't forget. I plan to candle at day 10 and see what to do from there. My hygrometer did not arrive - but the humidity is currently at the very low end on the "incubation range" for my incubator.

whatelse are you keeping from us?

Love it! I work for an architect who does free form houses. I will show him these pictures. Here's a building we just did. I do the glass work.

Thanks for sharing your pictures.

w

what kind of glass work?? got pics?

How long does it usually take for an egg to hatch? It has been about 4.5 hours from when I found them pipped and nothing has changed.

Pips and ZIPS ARE NOT THE SAME PATIENCE is a MUST!

try wrapping it...
Wrapping a bator for steadier temps post #25454

stable room temps is always best to keep the bator stable..... find the best location for this.

ADDING a turner isnt going to stable temps

try adding med size sterile pebbles too
